Mortgage Servicer Transmits SSN Unencrypted and Blocks Paper Statement Access
A mortgage servicer's new web portal transmits full Social Security Numbers and loan numbers without encryption, creating identity theft risk. When warned, the servicer refused to remediate and blocked paper statement delivery behind the vulnerable portal login. Borrowers cannot safely access their own mortgage statements, preventing them from making accurate payments.

Mortgage Servicer Sent Confidential Borrower Data to Wrong Person

Account Recovery Requires Access to the Locked Account Creating an Unbreakable Loop
When users lose access to online accounts, banks and services require them to verify identity using information accessible only through the locked account — creating a circular dependency with no exit. Phone numbers on file become invalid (retirement, device changes), and the only resolution path requires the very access being requested. Elderly and non-technical users are particularly stuck as no human override process exists.
